Freepers Openly Supporting Liberal Democrats - Alison Lundergan Grimes
Free Republic ^ | June 26, 2014 | Salf/Vanity

Posted on 06/26/2014 10:01:59 AM PDT by ifinnegan

I never thought I would see the day when there were participants in this forum openly advocating voting for a liberal Democrat.

Yet that is what many are doing in advocating Kentuckians vote for Alison Lundergan Grimes.

This makes no sense unless one is a liberal or leftist anti-American or are unable to move beyond emotion and irrationality or a nihilist mind set that lets anger, fear, lack of faith and hatred dominate one's logical faculties.

Alison Lundergan Grimes was born in 1978. That's the year I graduated High school. Many here are older than I, and in politics, at 53 I am not all that old.

This liberal Democrat leftist, Alison Lundergan Grimes, is 36 years old. She is a baby in politics.

If she wins this seat now she will be in the Senate for 40 years.

By contrast, McConnell is an old man who will be gone after this term.

Those supporting the liberal Democrat leftist, Alison Lundergan Grimes, for Senate are going to simply make possible another Feinstein, or Boxer or any such left wing corrupt Marxist-thinking Senator with a Seat-For-Life.

Setting up a permanent seat in the Senate for a liberal leftist Democrat in a state where it is possible to avoid this plague, is not a good idea.

It may feel good emotionally to see the reprehensible, Mitch-I-want-to-punch-the-Tea-Party-in-the-nose McConnell lose, but the negative consequences are greater than the fleeting enjoyment of seeing McConnell lose.

This is a political issue of course, but it also seems a spiritual issue.

And what is your opinion on the Democrap vs. Democrap race in Mississippi?

No evidence to suggest Childers is any more liberal than Thad Cockring.

A fair argument, but the Republican party needs to be broken before we end up with a viable opposition party. Lesser of two evils has gotten us nowhere.

I suspect McConnell win this just like he beat down a viable opponent in the primary. He’s got unlimited resources. That said, I will shed not a tear if he is gone.

While I won’t vote for Grimes, I won’t vote for McConnell either.

You don’t crap on your base during the primaries, then turn around and ask for a buck and a vote.

If I can, I’ll write in Matt Bevin, the man I voted for in the Primary.

I’m sick unto death of holding my nose and voting for the GOP-E pansy just because there’s an (R) next to his name.

There is no difference in D vs. R anymore. Only whether we drive off the cliff at 60mph or 90mph.

There is no difference between the controlling Republicans and the Democrats. They are just the GOP-wing of the Democrat Party.

The only way to dis-empower them is to dis-empower them.

It is spiritual. Those who would support a Democrat because they don’t like the Republican are badly misguided. If you thought a Christian was hypocritical liar, would you then support a Muslim.

When someone, i.e., Mitch Mcconnell, says they are going to crush you - you must answers in terms they understand. This is a war. remember?

McConnell needs to go...no difference between him and a Democrat.

In the Mississippi case, McDaniel should first challenge as many of Cochran’s votes as he can.

If that is not successful, McDaniel should run a write in campaign.

DO NOT VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRAT!

In the case of McConnell?

Also DO NOT VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRAT!

Grow up, swallow your pride, and realize that the purpose of your vote is ALWAYS to defeat the worst candidate.

ALWAYS!

I will NO longer be cowed. They have cowed us for years with these arguments. Decades. And what do we get? RINOs galore. Sometimes the fix hurts. But fix it we will. They GOPe KNOWS they will get enough of us to think this way. But not this time.

And incumbency isn’t what it once was.

You might try that “spiritual issue” argument with Thad Cochran, Haley Barbour, and McConnell after they openly pursued Democrats to defeat an actual conservative and save a Progressive Republican.

Since you post this vanity, which by the way was not very well written,
tell us what McConnell has done to fight the democrats and Obama?

Please give us some specific examples, so we can begin debate on this poorly
written vanity post.

I get your point but it's far from accurate to compare California to Kentucky.

Principal means nothing to a RINO...and we see what they do to good men with principal...actually I’ll revise my words...RINO’s like McConnell are WORSE than Democrats. With Democrats at least they tell you who they are.

This post is by a McConnell campaign staffer.

All campaigns now have employees who post on websites like Free Republic to influence the outcomes of elections.

When you read a post that says McConnell or Thad Cochran is better than the Democrat, just day to yourself, “Another RINO troll.”

Burn the GOP-E to the ground and salt the earth underneath it. No more lessers of evil...Mitch is behind most of the shenanigans going on against Conservative candidates today, and so he needs to go. Period.

I don’t like old turkey neck either, but there is no way I could be so stupid to sit it out or vote for Grimes. She is good looking though.
